IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or
motor in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in
use, before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer assistance number
for information on examination, repair
or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including
canning jars, not recommended or sold
by the appliance manufacturer may
cause a risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including the stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while
blending to reduce the risk of severe
personal injury and/or damage to
blender. A rubber spatula may be used
but must be used only when blender is
not running.
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully.
12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or
cracked blender jar.
13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose
cutting blades.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never
place cutting blades on base without jar
properly attached.
15. Always operate blender with lid in place.
16. When blending hot liquids, remove
center piece of two-piece lid. Do not fill
blender jar beyond the 3-cup level.
Always begin processing at the lowest
speed setting. Keep hands and other
exposed skin away from the cover open-
ing to reduce the risk of possible burns.
17. Screw on jar retaining ring firmly. Injury
can result if moving blades accidentally
become exposed.
18. If the jar should turn when the motor
is running, turn OFF immediately and
tighten jar in threaded retaining ring.
19. Do not leave blender unattended while
it is operating.
20. To disconnect cord, turn the control to
OFF. Then remove plug from wall outlet.
21. Do not use appliance for other than
intended purpose.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.

The length of the cord used on this
appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. If a longer cord is
necessary, an approved extension cord may
be used. The electrical rating of the exten-
sion cord must be equal to or greater than
the rating of the blender. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that
it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
If the cutting blades lock and do not move,
this will damage the motor. Do not use.
Call the toll-free customer assistance number
for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled
with food or liquid. This will freeze and
damage the cutting blades.

Cord Wrap
Before First Use: After unpacking the
blender, wash everything except the
blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry
thoroughly. Wipe the blender base with

IMPORTANT: Your
blender jar and
cutting blades are subject
to wear during
normal use. Always inspect jar for nicks,
chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting
blades for broken, cracked, or loose
blades. If jar or cutting blades are
damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free
customer assistance number to obtain
replacement parts.
1. Make sure blender is unplugged.
Place blender base on clean, dry
surface to keep foreign particles
from being pulled up into motor
during operation.
2. Place blades in retaining ring. Fit
gasket over blades. The gasket must
lie flat. Set jar on top of gasket and
screw on retaining ring.
3. Make sure the retaining ring is
firmly screwed onto the jar. If not,
it may loosen later when motor is
turned on.
How to Assemble and Use
a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT
IMMERSE THE BASE IN WATER.
Care should be taken when handling
the cutting blades as they are very sharp.
4. Set jar into place on blender base,
making sure it is securely seated. If
not, gently rock the jar until seated.
5. Make sure the blender OFF button
has been pushed. Plug cord into
outlet.
6. Put ingredients in jar; place lid
on jar. Place hand on lid when
blending thin liquids.
7. Process food or beverages. See the
β€œBlending Techniques” section for
speeds and processing tips.
8. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait
until blades have stopped rotating
before removing jar.
9. To remove jar after blending is
complete, lift the jar straight up.
If it is not easily removed, rock
gently and lift. Do not twist.
10. NEVER replace jar onto unit while
motor is running.
12-Speed Control Panel
First select and push a LO or HI power
button. Then push the desired speed
button. The blender will run until you
push the OFF button. The OFF button
is also the PULSE button.The blender
runs only as long as the button is
pushed. On LO power the blender puls-
es and on HI the pulsing action is
powerful enough for crushing ice. See
β€œCrushing Ice.”

Crushing Ice
To get ice that is almost the consistency
of snow, follow these guidelines.
β€’ Ice must come directly from the
freezer. Ice that has been stored in
an ice chest or ice bucket has already
started to melt. That small amount of
moisture will not make good dry,
crushed ice.
β€’ Crush 3 to 4 cups of ice at a time.
β€’ Use the PULSE/OFF button. Press
and release the button allowing the
blender to come to a complete stop
before pressing again. This allows the
chunks of ice to fall on the blades
for consistent crushing of the ice.
NOTE: Continue to pulse until you
cannot hear chunks of ice hitting the
blender jar, or about 30 to 45 seconds.
β€’ If you are crushing ice with a liquid,
for a drink or other recipe, there
should not be more ice than liquid
for best results. Equal amounts of
ice and liquid work well, for example
2 cups ice and 2 cups liquid. Do not
try and blend 2 cups ice and 1 cup liq-
uid. An air pocket is created around
the blades and prevents all the ice
from being crushed.
Blending Techniques
Bread Crumbs
Tear bread into pieces and put in
blender jar. PULSE about 15 times.
Cookie or Cracker Crumbs
Break cookies or crackers into pieces
and put in blender jar. Process 1 cup
at a time. PULSE about 10 times. For
a finer consistency, process on Speed 4
a few seconds after Pulsing.
Chopped Nuts
Place 1 cup nuts in blender jar. PULSE a
few times. Remove jar from base and
shake to redistribute pieces. Place jar
on base and PULSE a few more times.
Chopping Vegetables
Cabbage, carrots, onion, green pepper,
potatoes. Place 2 cups of chunks in
blender jar. Cover with water. PULSE
until desired chopped consistency is
reached. Pour into colander to drain
off water.
Frozen Juice Concentrate
Place 6 ounces frozen juice in blender
jar with recommended amount of water.
Process on Speed 12 for 20 seconds.
Or place 12 ounces frozen juice in
blender jar with 1 can of water. Process
on Speed 12 for 30 seconds. Pour into
pitcher and stir in remaining 2 cans
water.
Smooth Gravy
If your gravy has lumps, place in blender
jar. Remove filler cap from cover to allow
steam to escape. Process on Speed 3 for
5 seconds or until smooth.
Pancakes or Waffles
Place liquid ingredients into blender
jar; then dry ingredients. Process on
Speed 6 for 10 seconds or until blended.
Parmesan Cheese
Cut cheese into half-inch chunks and
place in blender jar. Process on Speed 10
for 45 seconds or until desired consistency.
Superfine Sugar
Place 1 cup regular granulated sugar
in blender jar. Process on Speed 8 for
30 seconds to make superfine sugar
which dissolves instantly in iced tea.
How to Clean
1. Unplug blender from electrical outlet.
2. Wipe blender base, control panel,
and cord with a damp cloth or
sponge. To remove stubborn spots,
use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser.
3. To clean jar, unscrew retaining ring
and remove cutting unit assembly
from jar.
4. Carefully remove blades and gasket
from bottom of retaining ring.
5. Carefully wash blades, retaining ring,
gasket, jar, and cover in hot, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not soak. The glass jar may be
washed in an automatic dishwasher.
DO NOT wash blades, retaining ring,
gasket, plastic jar, or lid in a dishwasher.
6. Reassemble cutting unit assembly
onto jar. Replace jar onto blender
base.
7. Store blender with lid ajar to prevent
container odor.
Hints for Best Use
β€’ Processing hot foods or liquids in the
blender may cause hot liquid to spurt
out when the cover is removed. Always
remove the filler cap of the cover
before blending hot foods or liquids.
β€’ To add foods when blender is
operating, remove filler cap from
container cover and add ingredients
through the opening.
β€’ If blending action stops during
blending or ingredients stick to sides
of the jar, turn blender OFF. Remove
cover and use a rubber spatula to push
mixture toward blades.
β€’ Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff
dough, whip egg whites, grind raw
meat, or extract juices from fruits and
vegetables. The blender is not made to
perform these tasks.
β€’ Do not store food or liquids in the
blender jar.
β€’ When blending foods, do not fill the
plastic jar above the 56-ounce line
(7 cups).
